Funny enough, I actually didn't like ghee until I did Whole30 in August and relied on it for frying my eggs! Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is common in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is lactose-free, casein-free and is ideal for cooking at high heat. It also doesn't need to be refrigerated. If you don't have ghee, you can also sub butter for the recipe.

I have been getting so much use out of my cast iron skillet and if you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one! It is affordable and also lasts forever. I use mine all the time when I make this flank steak recipe. It's also great for sauteeing veggies before baking them in the oven. It locks in all the flavors ahead of time.
